Protecting Her

16

Jezzabelle's POV

"I don't get why we have to do this" I groaned into my hands as my aunt helped me with my dress.

"You know how important our family image is with this type of life style. As much as I hate these types of things as well, at least I can get some drink to take my mind off of it through the night" Aunt Nellie snorts with a laugh as I laugh along with her.

Our family road trip lasted two more days before my father instructed uncle Carson to take us all back to the mansion for the rest of our family duties we had coming up while he was away.

With some of my family here now in America, my  fiancé's family decided to throw a small gathering type of dance for our families and many more to come see how our relationship was so called 'thriving' with the way his father described it.

I don't know why this man's family is so obsessed with the so called 'family image'. It seems like their family is more into my engagement being shown off than the people actually in the relationship.

"You look beautiful" Aunt Nellie smiles at me as I force one back.

She takes my hand to lead me outside of one of the hundreds of bedrooms the building we were in had for us to get ready inside of.

I don't know where the hell we were but my fiancé's parents decided to pick out the biggest building they could find for this wanna be royal looking ball they're having tonight.

"My fiancé looks ravishing tonight" A disgustingly familiar voice says as soon as me and Aunt Nellie step out of the room.

"Viktor what are you doing up here? I thought you were supposed to wait for my niece in the ballroom?" Aunt Nellie asks him after noticing the uncomfortable look on my face.

"Actually, my mother wanted me to come fetch my fiancé so we can make our grand entrance together. As the next in line for the two largest and powerful families in the world, it would make both our families proud if we show the world who will be the couple running it from now on" Viktor explains before putting his hand out to me.

Looking down at his claw like hands and the Cheshire grin on his face, I wanted nothing more than to take the gun from my holster beneath my dress and shoot the shit out of him already. But the sound of someone walking up beside me now made me calm in a flash.

"Oh, you're here too?" Viktor says shocked at the sight of the man I already knew was standing protectively next to me.

"Of course he is. This building may be filled with many mafia families tonight but my brother in law would never let his daughter go anywhere without his own protection" Aunt Nellie retorts as I turned to the most handsome man in the building standing beside me.

Unlike the ugly black and white tuxedo Viktor was wearing, Domenico was wearing a black on black suit that made his deliciously large body look like it was going to burst out of it any second now. It was no denying that compared to Viktors slim and lanky medium height figure, Domenico towered over him in both height and width.

"He can stay on the side of the building the rest of the night. I'll be to busy on the dance floor with my future wife and mother of my children" Viktor sneers at Dom before grabbing my wrist harshly leading me to the doors leading to the ballroom.

"Let me go!" I snap feeling uncomfortable without my man and bodyguard near me.

"Shut it! If you leave my side tonight I won't hesitate to kill that fucking animal you have glued to your side. You know how powerful my father is compared to yours so don't even try to sneak behind my back with that man. Now stay by my side like a good wife and put a smile on" He hissed out while gripping my hand hard again before the doors in front of us opened.
